If you are a fan of Tiny House Nation and Tiny House Hunters on the FYI Network, you are going to fall in love with 1117 Grinnell Street #2, in Old Town Key West.

We love 1117 Grinnell Street #2 in Old Town Key West!

Wonderful indoor/outdoor living!

The small house movement (also known as the “tiny house movement”) describes the architectural and social movement advocating living simply in small homes: houses less than 1,000 square feet. With the financial crisis of 2007-08, the small house movement came into its own, offering housing that is more affordable and ecologically friendly. Key West embraced tiny houses long before they became fashionable.

Charming!

Cozy!

Built in 1933 and beautifully redesigned, 1117 Grinnell Street #2 is a small-scale cottage that is next to perfect. The two bedroom/one bath, 587 square foot abode offers the best of tiny house living. Gorgeous wood floors and walls, vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, mosaic tile, and French doors add to the home’s charming interior. The classic front porch and the back porch overlooking the sunny community pool, extend the living space to the tropical outdoors.

We love living in a small house. Our historic Conch cottage is just 722 square feet on the main floor, plus a cozy loft. Although challenging at first, we have happily adapted to living large in a small space. Out of necessity, we have only filled our house with objects we wish to cherish forever. Combined with the house’s charming architectural character, our unique collection helps to make our pocket-sized cottage a place that always makes us smile. Small house living is for us!

This enthralling Key West estate makes its mark.

This enthralling Key West estate definitely makes its mark.

There are too few superlatives to adequately describe the extraordinary Gatsbyesque estate at 1017 Southard Street in Key West’s historic district. Encompassing over 20,000 square feet of terra firma and over 5,000 square feet of refined living space, this is undeniably one of the finest luxury estates on the island.

The first floor features a dramatic entry hall, stunning octagonal living room, dining room with one-of-a-kind murals, spacious den, custom chef’s kitchen, and a vaulted master suite. Upstairs, one finds an octagonal guest suite and a sumptuous master. Victorian leaded glass doors, soaring ceilings, custom painted Dade County pine walls and floors, and welcoming porches take one’s breath away.

A chef’s kitchen to die for.

Your corner of paradise on Sugarloaf Key.

We have been captivated by the serene tranquility of our new listing at 17176 Bonita Lane West on Sugarloaf Key. Living in Old Town Key West definitely has its perks, but the noise of late-night revelers, descending passenger jets, motorcycling tourists, and neighbors we can reach out and touch, can by a bit trying at times. We often find ourselves longing for a quiet corner of paradise. Nestled on a peaceful Sugarloaf lane—just seventeen miles from Duval Street—the Zen-like atmosphere of this enchanting waterfront home is calling our names.
